Hi Raymond I just put up a new post on DU here.

Message 21309118

I've just finished reading the report

"SCIENCE OR SCIENCE FICTION? Facts, Myths and Propaganda In the Debate Over Depleted Uranium Weapons, by Dan Fahey, March 12, 2003"

I think it's a good assessment of where we are re: DU and it's risks.

One thing for sure, the purpose of fighting a war is to win it. I have a friend who will not use his microwave oven becuse he is sure that some microwave radiation will left in the food when he eats it. So even (and that is not the scientific case by a long chaulk) if can it be assumed there is minimal risk by planting large chuncks of radioactive uranium in the countryside (DU is a misuse of the words), it would be hard to convince the population that is is safe, and not the cause of the many problems we all have to confront.

Hardly a way to "win the hearts and minds" of the population.
